Then there could be a refresh rate value (e.g. 15 ms or some other value,
configurable) and thread-yield could check if the main thread got the lock
within this time window.

If not then it would give the lock explicitly to the main thread, otherwise
the next thread gets the lock.

This could guarantee UI responsivity which is the first priority and other
threads get the lock only when the UI is fresh enough.
